Where are you located? I am too scared to ship birds yet,but if you are close to kc,mo.... Thanks! Love them all! Cant wait to see what the silkie/serama chicks look like. . My only tip i can think of is dont use chips for bedding. Use pellets or something, way less messy.

Lol, I havent got an egg from my outside birds in months. My seramas are inside because I am not supposed to have a roo. I am guessing the stable temp and lighting helps them, they each lay about 4-6 eggs a week. They also go back to laying about two weeks after molt or being broody. I am...

Hi everyone! I haven't been on byc for awhile, so have lots of catching up on this thread. I love my seramas, they are such sweet little birds. I got a new roo late last fall, and have finally been hatching some chicks now that he's old enough. Problem is I need more smooth girls, and I am...

Haven't been on here in forever, been a super busy summer. I shut off my incubator about a month ago, but still have lots of chicks hatching since everyone has gone broody, lol. My roosters from my first hatches are getting big enough to start doing their thing, so some of the next chicks...

I'm in northwest MO. A little far, but if you ever come this way let me know. Otherwise, I'd try here- https://www.facebook.com/showmeamericanserama.club.7?fref=ts And if you can make it to poultry shows in your area that would also be a good place to find them too.

Love that cage! Lots roomier for them and takes up about the same amount of floor space as my cat cage I use for the birdies.

This is really cool! I am not wanting to run electric to my coop at all. I've heard way too many stories about people losing their coops to fires, or losing their birds when the lights burn out overnight. I do have a small pen near the house that does have electric that I use as a grow out pen...

Do you use heat at all with yours? Just curious, since I live in Missouri and have similar weather. I got my first serama in oct and kept them inside all winter thinking it would be too cold. By February I couldn't take the obnoxious roos anymore, and booted them out, lol. It's gotten to 20 or...

Good point, roos do tend to feather in funky. That's probably at least part of it, lol.

Lol, that's about all that I can come up with too. I really don't need a frizzle roo, I love my frizzle pullet so just want smooth roos, but he's got me curious enough I want to keep him just to see what's up with him. I'm wondering if maybe his momma was a frizzle with modifiers like yours and...

Oops, forgot to add that he isn't a curly. The person I got the eggs from only had a frizzle roo. I thought maybe that was why too.

So, my frizzles look completely different form each other. One has wide soft feathers that curl, the other has skinny ones that stick straight out. Any idea why anyone? The calicoish one is my little roo chick, the other is my pullet when she was around the same age.

Turning is most important the first few weeks from what I've read, locking them down early shouldn't hurt as long as humidity isn't too high. Good luck, hope you hatch lots of babies! Mine live with other bantams, large fowl, bantam ducks, and geese. I wouldn't trust a large fowl roo around...

I love my geese. They are so friendly and personable, they mow your grass for you, make good babysitters when it isn't breeding season, etc, lol. I'm hoping since the gander is mixed(embden/toulouse mix) I will get a gray baby to keep, I had an awful time deciding what goose breed too, lol. I...

Mine were raised together from chicks, and get along well. Before I sold the d'uccles I left the pen door open and they must have fought with the d'uccle roo a bit, they all had marks on their combs from it but no major damage.

What a cutie! And such long legs, what breed is she? She looks a lot like the canada gosling I had. I love goslings, they are the sweetest babies ever. Here's a couple of mine. They are just barnyard mixes, mostly embden, but they are already almost adult serama size at a week old, lol.

My last hatch of serama babies. There are a few d'uccles and one call duckling in there with them. I can't wait for them to start growing up and feathering out, and I have no idea how I'm going to pick which ones I want to keep to grow out, lol. I sold my d'uccles, I like the serama better and...

I took a few new pics of my adults today. One of my roos and and one pullet have white earlobes. Is ear color a problem in tabletop, or just in cage showing? And how hard is it to breed out if so? The cockeral with the light earlobes is my favorite, and I would hate to have to cull him just...

Mine are in with these ugly things and these cute ones and doing ok, lol. So maybe, and it would be lots easier that dealing with a lonely chick if it works. Maybe put one cochin in with her, and if that works try putting them all together.

Aww, I'm sorry. I have 2 1/2 week old seramas and d'uccles, 5 week old standard turkens, and 11 week old japanese bantams all in the same brooder together. The japanese are pretty sweet with the little ones. The turkens are already the size of the japs and will be moved out pretty soon, but...
